Part 1 - Barley Stubble Field....

[CRUSADER]

After taking a pasting yesterday on new land it was time to get in amongst it again. I decided to cycle to the nearby stubble field which is full of rubbish, but I hope to get a new button or capbadge.

Spent 4.5 hours digging tons of rubbish/trash but did get:

The largest Tudor Book Clasp I have found, next to another one which is normal size.
2 Tudor Clothes Fasteners
1 Button with double-headed eagle - Polish / Prussian? (This is what I was after a new type for me)
A whatzit Georgian Token/gun weight

Dad arrived on the field after his weekend away & I decided to pack the bike in the car & hunt for some Romans (can't go a whole weekend with none)

So see part 2 when I spent a couple of hours hunting Roman Coins......
